Harold,
In addition, the ancient church also thought that the author wrote the
gospel in Hebrew. Moreover, there is also testimony that the anonymous
letter to the Hebrews is from Paul.
Both these assumptions by the ancient church are to be doubted, and likewise
the assumption that Matthew wrote the gospel is open for scholarly research.
